24 electrolux care and cleaning
Cleaning the drawer recess
Having removed the drawer, use a small
brush to clean the recess, ensuring that
all washing powder residue is removed
from the upper and lower part of the
recess.
Replace the drawer and run the rinse
programme without any clothes in the
drum.
Cleaning the pump
The pump should be inspected if
the machine does not empty and/or
spin
the machine makes an unusual noise
during draining due to objects such
as safety pins, coins etc. blocking
the pump.
Proceed as follows:
Disconnect the appliance.
If necessary wait until the water has
cooled down.
Open the pump door.
Place a containfer close to the pump
to collect any spillage.
Pull out the emergency emptying
hose, place it in the container and
remove its cap.
When no more water comes out,
unscrew the pump cover and remove
it. Always keep a rag nearby to dry up
spillage of water when removing the
cover.
Remove any objects from the pump
impeller by rotating it.
Put the cap back on the emergency
emptying hose and place the latter
back in its seat.
